  • This longitudinal study investigated the relationship between blood pressure variability (BPV) and progression of cerebral white matter hyperintensities (WMH). Higher 24-hour and daytime diastolic average real variability (ARV) was associated with more progression of WMH during two years of follow-up.
  • In this study, Quantib® ND was used to determine WMH volume.
